*TeamName Abbr15 0
*TeamName_Abbr15_0 is a professional football club based in { country : #eee }, that competes in the Error! Premier League, in the top flight of #eee football. Nicknamed the Abbr15's, the club was founded as <team name> in the year 1901, but changed it's name to *TeamName_Abbr15_0, 9 years later in 1910. The club plays in the 502 Bad Gateway stadium in the heart of the city of mediaTypeConifg.
Early Years[edit | edit source]
Founded as <team name>, by Henry Thomas Matthew Lawton, the club would only play in friendly matches for the first 4 years of it's existence before being invited to play in the 3rd division of #eee football, then known as the #include<iostream> league. The team were horrendous, finishing bottom of of the league for the next 4 years, but never being relegated as relegation did not exist at that time. The club's best point total during this time was during the 1907/08 season, when it picked up 5 points out of a possible 64. Henry Thomas Matthew Lawton himself had served as manager during this awful period, often being forced to play children between the ages of 8 to 14 in matches, as the adult players were too busy working in the local factories. Henry Thomas Matthew Lawton sold the club in 1910 to a group of American businessmen, collectively known as Electronic Arts, or EA for short.
After EA's acquisition of <team name>, they decided a name change was in order and rebranded the club as *TeamName_Abbr15_0. They changed the team's colour's from yellow to red and white, and moved them from the local town park into a 20,000 seater stadium, which they named 502 Bad Gateway, for sponsorship reasons. They also sacked all the first team players and no longer relied on children, instead they signed all the best players from other third division sides, and even some second division players as well.
<team name> play a football match in 1909, as supporters watch on in horror at the awful performance on show.
With all the money EA were pumping into the club it wasn't long before the Abbr15's would achieve some success. After promotion and relegation as introduced to the #eee football leagues in 1914, the Abbr15's secured promotion at first try, finishing top of the league on maximum 64 points, under the management of Charles Stephen Stevens.
By 1917 *TeamName_Abbr15_0 were finally competing in the first division, the Error! Premier League. Still under the guidance of Charles Stephen Stevens, the club won the Error! league title in 1920.
C.S.S. Domination 1920-40[edit | edit source]
Charles Stephen Stevens would remain in charge of the club until 1940, serving as *TeamName_Abbr15_0 boss for 30 years. During the period of 1920 to 1940 the club never finished lower than 3rd place in the Error! Premier League, winning the league a total of 15 times in the process. The Abbr15's also won 10 domestic cups during this time. As Charles Stephen Stevens' health deteriorated in early 1940, due to smoking more cigarettes than the doctor prescribed, he decided he would retire from management at the end of the season at the age of 69. EA set out to find a new manager, taking particular interest in a young man named Monty Python. Python was only aged 22 but had achieved considerable success as a manager of FC Petroleum in the Honduran Pub League, not the very highest level of football at the time, but he had been dominating the league since becoming manager aged 18, after being forced to retire as a player for the same club due to a cracked bottom he suffered in a game against Coffee Bananas. Python was hired by *TeamName_Abbr15_0 on April 1, 1940, a day after the Abbr15's secured another league title.
The Monty Python Years[edit | edit source]
At first Python struggled with his aging squad at *TeamName_Abbr15_0. After 3 years without success, Pyhton approached the board asking them to sign some of his former players from the Honduran Pub League. At first EA were reluctant, but after an embarrassing 6-0 defeat to bottom of the table %area, they granted Python his wish. This influx of young Honduran players helped bring *TeamName_Abbr15_0 back to it's glory years. However, disaster struck in 1953, when the Honduran Pub League banned players from playing outside of Honduras, blaming *TeamName_Abbr15_0 for weakening their national league. *TeamName_Abbr15_0 could no longer sign Honduran players. As a result of their signing of Honduran players, other clubs within the Error! Premier League had followed suit in looking to bring in foreign players to improve their teams. *TeamName_Abbr15_0 decided that they could follow this approach and not stick to signing exclusively Honduran players. They began signing players all over the world and by 1966 had created a monster of a squad with players from within { country : #eee } and players from all over the world. This helped the Abbr15's win the Global Super League for the first time in 1970, coinciding with a first ever treble for the club as they also won the league and domestic cup. *TeamName_Abbr15_0 had now became one of the most powerful clubs in world football. Python would stay on as *TeamName_Abbr15_0 manager until 1984, when he was controversially fired, as the board had become very friendly with Spanish-American Casino tycoon Javier Script. Javier wanted to become a football manager and paid EA $500 million to sack Python and put Javier himself in the position instead. Python himself was an old man by this stage and had planned to retire in, his words, "a year or two", but Javier's offer was too good for EA to turn down.
Doping and Match Fixing Scandals[edit | edit source]
After becoming the most successful #eee club of all time, fans and pundits alike were unsure if the success would continue, and it didn't. Script ordered the club doctors to give his players the performance enhancing drug, Viagina, with the players believing they were simply taking pain killing injections. The players believed this because Script forged a letter from the Error! Premier League with a list of medications a player can use, which included the illegal Viagina. After the players started to perform sluggishly throughout the remainder of the 84/85 season, people began to ask questions and *TeamName_Abbr15_0 were investigated. Script simply paid off the investigators, offering them a free VIP back stage pass to a Prince concert in New York, on his private jet full with $20,000 in cash to spend and so the doping of the players was kept under wraps. After a poor finish to the 84/85 season, with *TeamName_Abbr15_0 ending the season 8 points above the relegation zone, Script new something had to be done. The players had not reacted to the drug in the way he had hoped and now there was pressure on him from the club, players, fans and media to turn things around. After successfully paying his way into the club and paying off the doping investigators, Script decided he would start bribing match officials. He would send his goons to the referee's house or hotel a day before the game and threaten them with violence, before then offering a bribe. People started to become suspicious as the players were still playing sluggishly but still winning matches as a result of favourable referee decisions. Finally in May 1986, after *TeamName_Abbr15_0 won another league title. The referee, Martin Fartin, spoke out against Script's bribery. Fartin said "I could not live with the guilt any longer. This team does not deserve to be league champions. I had to speak out, even if that means losing my job. It is the right thing for football and I will use all of this money I took from bribes and put it back in the football community. Words cannot express how sorry I am." As a result of Fartin's confession an investigation was launched. Script was caught by cassette tape asking the investigators if they'd accept a bribe. Script was sacked by *TeamName_Abbr15_0, who were relegated to the second tier as a result of his actions. All referees who accepted bribes, including Fartin were given a 3 year ban from refereeing, many of whom would never referee a match again. Script was banned from all football activities and fled to his holiday cabin in Siberia where he would live out his days.
Rebuild and Return to Glory Days[edit | edit source]
After the doping and match fixing scandals, *TeamName_Abbr15_0 struggled for years in the second tier, never getting relegated but never getting promoted either. The effects of Javier Script's actions hurt the club deeply for many years. They went through 8 managers in 15 years, desperate for success. Finally under the guidance of former manager Monty Python's son, Ruby, they returned to the top flight in 2002. Pyhton was credited with building a team out of nothing, unlike his father who often had to sign players to achieve success, Ruby was able to work well with whatever players he had to use. *TeamName_Abbr15_0 finally returned to the top of the league in May 2004, winning their first Error! Premier League title in 20 years. Python left the club in 2010, after winning a further three league titles and one domestic cup, and gave his manager role to his assistant, Chris Cringle, who remains as *TeamName_Abbr15_0 manager to present day, winning 7 league titles in the last 12 years.
